For Wars Over God

For wars over god it is not god is to blame
Though many wars they have been fought in god's name
War is a human creation and humanity's shame
And any victory in war is a blood tainted fame
In wars sad to say many heroes are made
And war men celebrate war heroes in every war street parade
Often at the war memorial by an army bugler the last post is played
The memories of war by war men are not allowed to fade
There are wars over god and wars over land being waged every day
And that many civilians are dying in shootings and bombings in war zones does seem sad to say
People who talk of a just war seem hypocritical to me
In mass loss of life no moral justice would you not agree?
For wars over god it is not god is to blame
War is a human creation and humanity's shame.
